Student Handbook STUDENT HANDBOOK THIS IS A PUBLICATION OF THE MASTER'S UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE (subject to change without notice) REVISED AUGUST 2020 Welcome from the Office of Student Life The Master’s University is a remarkable place. It is a place that celebrates the Lordship of Christ and the sufficiency of His Word to address every academic discipline and detail of life. It is a place where students can grow spiritually in a comprehensive way and avoid fabricated standards of maturity that are rooted in either legalism or license. At Master’s, students are shaped by an exclusively biblical worldview, which transforms them in order to advance the Truth, combat error, and promote wisdom. It endeavors to be a distinctively Christian University and make a lasting contribution to the Kingdom of God worldwide. This is not a sinless place, but one where the students themselves shape a culture committed to seeing everyone become more like the Master. On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administration, we invite you to join us and participate in what God is doing here and belong to something truly remarkable.

FOREWARD The first place, if you want Scripture, the people are supposed to come to the house of God for one purpose, that is, to worship, to sing songs, and to worship God. That’s the way God expects it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, January 3, 1954, paragraph 111. There’s something about those old-fashioned songs, the old-time hymns. I’d rather have them than all these new worldly songs put in, that is in Christian churches. HEBREWS, CHAPTER SIX, September 8, 1957, paragraph 449. I tell you, I really like singing. DOOR TO THE HEART, November 25, 1959. Oh, my! Don’t you feel good? Think, friends, this is Pentecost, worship. This is Pentecost. Let’s clap our hands and sing it.

INTRODUCTION The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is considered one of the best and most highly regarded novels to come out of Russia during the Soviet era. The book weaves together satire and realism, art and religion, history and contemporary social values. It features three story lines. The main story, taking place in Russia of the 1930s, concerns a visit by the devil, referred to as Professor Woland, and four of his assistants during Holy Week; they use black magic to play tricks on those who cross their paths. Another story line features the Master, who has been languishing in an insane asylum, and his love, Margarita, who seeks Woland's help in being reunited with the Master. A third story, which is presented as a novel written by the Master, depicts the crucifixion of Yeshua Ha-Notsri, or Jesus Christ, by Pontius Pilate. Using the fantastic elements of the story, Bulgakov satirizes the greed and corruption of Stalin's Soviet Union, in which people's actions were controlled as well as their perceptions of reality.

  • June 21, 2020 10:00 Am the Third Sunday After Pentecost Digital
    June 21, 2020 10:00 am The Third Sunday after Pentecost Digital Morning Prayer Welcome to this new medium of corporate worship here at St. John’s! The current necessity to practice social distancing enables us to remain attentive to the care for the vulnerable among us, which is tied to the well-being of the entire human family. It also challenges us. We are attentive as well to caring for our need for collective worship and praise of God. So, we forge forward together with new ways of worship and ask for God’s grace and love to be known as we venture with trust into the unfamiliar. Thank you for joining us today. Whether a long-standing parishioner, a new member, or someone joining us for the first time, this is new for all of us! We hope you will, through the words and music we raise to God together, sense God’s work within you and among us all. May our worship ground, strengthen, and guide us this day and always. DIGITAL MORNING PRAYER PRELUDE: Last uns erfreuen (All creatures of our God and King) Geistliche Kirchengeseng Ellie and Caroline Fox, violins HYMN 686 O Come, thou fount of every blessing Nettleton 1 Come, thou fount of every blessing, 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor tune my heart to sing thy grace! daily I’m constrained to be!

Scarlett: No! I’m going to have a good time today. John Biewen: We Americans are notorious for not knowing or caring about history. It’s a generalization, forgive me, history buffs. But it’s a fair one, isn’t it? On the whole, Americans care a whole lot more about tomorrow. Forget yesterday. Yesterday was so long ago, for one thing. Get over it. [Roots clip] Kizzy, reading: For God giveth to a man who is good in his sight wisdom… [door opens] Master: Is that you reading, Kizzy? White woman, laughing: Uncle William, it was only a trick! John Biewen: That said, most of us do have a general picture in our minds of American slavery. Our schools teach it. And the Antebellum South has made recurring appearances in massively popular novels, movies, and TV series. [Roots clip] Father: But don’t split up the family, Master. You ain’t never been that kind of man. Please, Master! Master: Mr. Tom Moore owns Kizzy now. Mr. Odell will take her away today.

  • Lincolnsudbury Regional School District Residency Policy
    Lincoln­Sudbury Regional High School 390 Lincoln Road Sudbury, MA 01776 LINCOLN­SUDBURY REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT RESIDENCY POLICY The Lincoln­Sudbury Regional School Committee feels that students best flourish in a supportive school environment that is in concert with an equally supportive home environment. With the exception of rare and unique circumstances, a student’s residence is the home where his or her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) reside. In circumstances where parents or guardians live separately and custody is shared, or another arrangement exists, one guideline that the Superintendent/Principal will use in any residence consideration is whether or not the district is the principal location of the student’s domestic, social and civil life. In order to attend Lincoln­Sudbury Regional High School, a student must be a resident dependent, with his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s), of either the Town of Lincoln or the Town of Sudbury as defined in MA General Law Chapter 76, Section 5 or qualify in accordance with one of the following exceptions: o A student participating in the METCO Program o A student participating in the Student Exchange Program o A student whose parent or legal guardian is an employee of Lincoln­Sudbury Regional School District (teacher, administrator, clerical, educational support or buildings & grounds) who works a minimum of 20 hours per week and who would also be eligible for such benefits as health insurance. o A student whose parent or legal guardian is an employee of the Lincoln or Sudbury Public Schools, provided that said school districts have a policy which provides dependent children of Lincoln­Sudbury Regional School District employees equivalent access and said policy is implemented in the same manner as this policy is implemented.
